CIVILIAN DEFENSE COUNCILS TO TRY TEST BLACKOUTS Suggestions to state and local civilian councils which will aid inmaking practice blackouts more effective were issued today by Lt. Col. Arthur D. Patterson, Assistant Director in charge of Civilian Protection in the Fifth Region of the Office of Civilian Defense. The Region includes the states of Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Wea» Virginia. Lt. Col. Patterson stated that the approval of the Commanding General of the Fifth Corps Area of the U. S. Army, covering the same states, will be given only if certain definite steps are taken in advance, and all local councils contemplating practice blackouts must apply for such approval through their State Council of Defense. Only those defense councils which have followed this procedure can be considered for the “Citation for Merit” for outstanding activity which has been established by Dan T. Moore, Regional Director of OCD, to honor successful work. The following steps are suggested for any local council in the region: First, it must have enrolled and trained sufficient wardens, auxiliary police, fireman and the volunteers in the other protective services to man the Control Center, all the Wardens’ Posts, men for extra police and fire duties, for Emergency Medical service, et cetera. It is not enough that the organization is complete on paper and that so many names are recorded of each service; all volunteers must have had thorough training under trained instructors and the plans must have been carefully worked out to meet the individual characteristics of that community. Second, there must be definite, active leadership by individuals that command the resoect of all the citizenry. The American habit of loaning your name to this or that drive is not sufficient in this emergency; every person in the organzation must be a real worker. Third, the Control Center must be set up, manned, and carefully tested to see that it will serve the needs in an emergency since it is the nerve center of protection. Fourth, sections of the city, and finally the whole city or county must be tested first in daylight, and later in darkness, but without blackout to see that every volunteer knows his post, his duties, his way about, and what to do in this or that emergency for example, that the telephone communications fail or that a certain bridge, important to fire department and ambulance traffic is destroyed. Then, and only then, will that community be ready to ask the State Council of Defense to take steps toward authorizing a trial blackout, Lt. Col. Patterson said. Most of our emergency plans are based on a condition of darkness, but in this part of the United State an air attack could happen as easily and more likely in broad daylight, and sabotage and fires keep no hours. Consequently, all plans must be carefully checked to see if they can be applied as well in daylight, or whether differences in traffic, daylight congestion of population, and other daytime factors necessitate alteration of or auxiliary plans.
